Medvedchuk: the UN Peacekeeping mission – not negotiable

Medvedchuk explained the function of the SMM, the OSCE and the UN peacekeeping force.

Part of the UN peacekeeping mission to support the activities of the OSCE SMM is a qualitatively new approach to a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Donbass. So the leader of the public movement “the Ukrainian choice – the Right of the people” Viktor Medvedchuk.

At the same time, he noted that the initiative of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko about the armed police of the OSCE mission can not be implemented because it is not the mandate of the organization.

According to Medvedchuk, part of the UN peacekeeping mission to ensure the activities of the OSCE SMM not only on the frontline but where today is the Supervisory function in accordance with the mandate of the OSCE and the Minsk agreement is a qualitatively new approach to a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Donbass.

“This will allow you to get the result that we can not achieve more than two and a half years: a long-term cease-fire, maintaining a stable, permanent truce that will give the opportunity to move to a constructive dialogue and discuss ways to implement all the items (including the political part) “measures to implement the Minsk agreement”, – said Medvedchuk.

Previously Poroshenko has said that to introduce peacekeepers to the Donbass without the consent of Russia will not work. The Russian foreign Ministry said that Moscow has again changed the position of the UN mission in the Donbas and agreed to place it only on the demarcation line. Poroshenko did not agree to the proposal of the Kremlin.
